Another one bites the dust – Star Wars Republic Commando: True Colors is done. I would have to say I liked this one a little more than Triple Zero, but again there was a sense of build-up. The fourth (and last) novel in the series comes out this summer, so I’ll be looking for that.
This story dealt a lot more with the reoccurring theme of loyalty, which always makes for high drama. This sets up Order 66 nicely, and I am curious how this is all going to pan out.
It was nice to see the Nulls get a little rough – there is so much reference to how unstable and violent they are, but they never actually do anything that crazy…until now.
Also explained more of the war, how the Jedi are and are not involved in it, and Palpatine’s ambitions for himself and the clones.
A great read and yet another reason I’m glad I decided to try it out.
